Building Work Parties and Land & Grounds Work Parties are held jointly on the third Saturday of each month. Our hope is to create more opportunities for handy folk to connect over shared interests — and to welcome anyone who is interested in teaching and learning new skills, all while maintaining our shared home. We will start at 9:00am in the Social Hall, and finishing around 11:00 (if not sooner!).
If you are joining the Land Crew’s party, please bring loppers, clippers, wheelbarrows, your visions and ideas. We’ll bring a gas powered pole saw and wheelbarrow.
If you are joining the Building Crew’s party, you’re welcome to bring your favorite tools, work gloves, knee pads, or anything else that will help you get the jobs done! We have a few basic hand tools available, but all building materials are provided.
Come join in the fun helping to beautify and settle into our Squirrel Creek home!

For questions about Land & Grounds, talk to Marlene or Cliff or email LandCrew@uugrassvalley.org.
Buddhist insight teaches that trying to run away from our fears, or otherwise trying to avoid them, only increases our suffering and others’ suffering. Plus, it strengthens our fears! Drawing on the wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh and Pema Chödrön, we’ll at least consider the possibility (Gulp!) of befriending what frightens us.
Rev. Kevin Tarsa, with Randy McKean, Worship Associate

UUCM’s active Justice Team supports the congregation’s learning and action toward a more compassionate, sustainable and just community and world. The Team oversees, supports, and helps focus UUCM’s justice initiatives, primarily through the work of UUCM’s task forces voted on by the congregation, as well as through Rapid Response opportunities, which are urgent calls for action that arise throughout the year. The Justice Team is a thinking, planning and oversight group keeping an eye on the overall picture, while the on-the-ground work of justice is done through the programs of the task forces themselves. New task forces may arise during the year as need, passion, and support surface. […]
